Article 49-0 of the Constitution
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in
section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his
identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that
he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders
have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O". Why should you go and
say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by
123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more
than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not
only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they
cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision
on them. This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine
candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our
whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission
has not revealed such a feature to the public....
